KEELING IN TREES.

When you get trees from the..nursery
do not plant them hurriedly. Heel
them in, choosing a dry, sheltered
place; open a trench, lay in the trees,
in an inclined position. so that the tops
will protect one another, looking to the
labels. hat none may be lost or mis-
placed: cover the roots well with soil,
leaving no air spaces, using enough
earth to she'd water. The trees here
will be much better off than if planted
ont in cold soil, to be whipped about by
the drying winds.

PACKING Eggs.

All methods of preserving eggs aim
to prevent the air entering through the
pores of the shell as much as possible.
This may be accomplished by smear
ing the eggs with lard, oil, or similar
material. For large quantities .'lim-
ing is preferable. This me by
placing the eggs in tubs lnks, and
pouring thick lime-wash them-
In either case the most important point
to be observed is that the eggs are per-
fectly fresh when put up.

sCoURs IN CALVES.

Scours are liable to occur in calves
which are weaned and brought up on
the pail. Some are more liable to be
attacked than are others, while the
trouble generally takes places when
the breeder finds it necessary to in
crease the strength of the food, on ac-
count of the increased size and strength
of the calf. by adding scalded bran,
corn meal, etc, If this change is
made very gradually, no bad effects
are likely TO ensue. for the system can
accustom itself to the change. Sudden
changes, as well as overlooking the
stomach. are what cause arrangements
of the digestive organs, which are evinc-
ed bv scores. This trouble must be
checked at once; very simple method,
and very sure one if taken in the first
stages. being to thoroughly parch or
brown some corn meal, making it al
most black, and then scald the milk,
mixing both together and feeding as
soon as it is cool enough. One or two
doses generally effect a cure. Flour
can be used in the same way, and is by
some preferred to corn meal. When
the disorder has been left TO run for
several DAYS and has become pronounc-
ed, more stringent remedies must be
used. or the calf will soon become weak
and emaciated.

PETROLEUM ON SHINGLES.

wishes to know if it will pay to saturate
shingles with petroleum before laying
them. He recollects to have seen some
thing about the use of petroleum, some
years ago. but can not now refer TO it..
The use of crude petroleum-the oil
just rs it comes from the wells-is no
doubt a most valuable preservative of
wood. Petroleum is in no sense a
paint, and it can not be used as We

saturate the fibres of the wood and to
prevent decay. treating, shingles tub

THE LAWN.

New lawns should be made early,
preparing the soil thoroughly and sow
ing an abundance of seed. Small areas
are conveniently sodded, and on new,
large lawns it is well to lay the mar
gins along roads and paths, as well as
the edges of the beds, with good firm
turf, as this will allow the outlines to
be preserved the more perfectly.
Herbaceous& perennials that have
been long in one place, should be lifted
divided, and the divisions planted in
fresh soil Sow seeds of ANIMALS in
the greenhouse, or il boxes in sunny
window.
If manure is used upon the Lawn,
let it be so thoroughly composted that
no weed seeds can survive. Such fertil-
izers as ashes, bone, or guano are safe
from this danger. Excellent results
have followed the use of 800 pounds of
nitrate of soda TO the acre.
Rake up and remove rubbish of all
kinds. If the branches of trees have
been broken during the winter, saw off
to make a clear smooth cut, and cover
the wound with melted grating wax
or thick paint. Where the snow has
broken the branches of evergreens,
prune in such a manner as to hide the
wound and cover it with wax or paint.

CRIBBING.

Cribbing is by no means disease, in
the strict sense of the term, but should
be more properly elassed under the heads
of tricks and vices. Cribbing or crib

some horsemen contend that the ami

making the sounds which are noticeable
in cribbing, but close observation fails
to confirm this. The noise is made I'M
dOubtedly by the vocal organs. and
seems TO be an expression of satisfaction
in accomplishing the desire to crib. A
confirmed cribber will soon teach the
habit to other horses in the stable, so
those who have a cribbing horse should
coniine him in a separate stall until
the habit is broken up. Cribbing is
no physical detriment to horse, but
Is often considered by dealers an evil
dence of unsOundness, though it should
not be considered so any more than is
the kicking propensity. To break up
the habit, remove the opportunity for
the animal to indulgsi in his unpleasant
propensity, by having manger and stall
so arranged as to leave no places for
the horse to catch hold of with his teeth
or lips. If there happens to be such
places which cannot well be dispensed
with. keep them well smeared with
common bar soap, which is very dis
tasteful to the horse.

KEEP BEES.

We advise every farmer to keep bees,
not for the money it may bring. but for
the qualification of his family We adj
wise it, as we do the growing ofan abund-
ance of strawberries, grapes, etc.-as
one of the ties to attach children to the
farm. making it the best place onearth.
We also advise it for its influence upon
the young, in teaching them to observe.
Still the main reason for keeping bees
is. the"sweet TOOTH if that be gratifi-
ed, all other benefits will follow. The
way to begin Bookkeeping, is to begin
small. If one produces an single colony,
in modern. movable cOmb-hive. and
| by the aid of the standard works (such
as Quinby's). cares for that colony and
its increase during the season, he will
have knowledge of Bookkeeping that
will enable him to manage many hives,
and which will enable him, he should
so elect, to keep bees for profit. One
piece of advice should be needed by all
beginners: Do not begin Bookkeeping
unless with the determination to give it
that thought and care which will make
it a success. Nothing can be more un-
profitable and demoralizing than neg
lected apiary. Begin, then, with a
single hive. and experienced bee keep
ers are agreed that this is the proper
month in which to begin.

EGGS BY WEIGHT.

Isn't it strange that we buy and sell
eggs by number instead of by weight?
Number does not show their value;
weight does. Some eggs weigh twice
as much as others What Justice or
business sagacity is there in paving the
same price for one as for the other? Is
not the farmer who sells large egg
for the same price that his neighbor
sells small one cheated? And is not
the buyer of the small egg cheated?
just as well might butter be sold by
rolls. the small roll bringing as much
as the large one. We do not buy or
sell butter by the number of rolls. or
meat by the number of pieces, or cheese
by nur.ber; nor should we sell eggs by
number.
If eggs were bought and sold by
weight. the value of certain breeds of
fowls would be changed. Now the
breed that furnishes the greatest num-
Der of eggs is the most profitable; then
it would be the breed that furnished
the greatest weight. Some breeds are
remarkable for the smallness of their
eggs: such breeds would suffer in pop
ularity, while the fowls that Law large
eggs would gain. This would work
only justice, however, to the fowls,
consumers. Clearly eggs should be
sold by weight. Then why does not
every one insist upon it?

WHEN TO CONE WEST.

who have come hither from the East

the best period of the year for mi
grafton westward. Then they have
plenty of time before cold weather TO
become acclimate1, and i they have
the necessary farm tools they can be-
gin breaking the virgin sod at once,
aud may raise a crop of flax the first
year. No one, however. should think
of coming from the Older States with
out having sufficient funds to carry him
through at least the first year. There
NAV be no grasshoppers, as ten years
ago, to devour the crops ard leave the
settlers in half starving condition,
but there are very many other emer-
gencies which newcomers should be
prepared for. such as drouth. storms,
sickness. etc.
